  • This is a very busy place.
  • I was on the top of it on 5th August 2007; and I saw damper baby. This building is extremely hi-tech, with it's sprawling mall and the ultra-fast elevator that got me to the top in 40 seconds!
  • yaa.. very exciting place.. unfortunately, it's hard to take pictures inside the mall... no camera allowed...
  • i was there too last october 28, 2007.. jerry yan
  • I got to go up here last December 2005 and even went out to the outside observation deck. It was very cold at the time since the temperature above is about degrees lower than on ground level. You also get to hear an eerie high pitched sound as the wind passes through the safety grills.
  • Very amazing skyscraper. Felix Baumgartner, an Aussi, base jumped from the top of the building in late 2007.
  • It also has the world's fastest elevator, and a luxury shopping mall that few Taiwanese can actually afford .... Excellent place to meet tourists from around the world. People from the USA, UK, Germany, Japan, China, Australia, and other nations can all be found congregating at the Observation Deck.
  • Beautiful building. So elegant, proportionate and inviting. Some skyscrapers literally sting the sky, some negatively affet their cities... but not this one. :)
